Hi,
I should declare an interest here as I work for ntl:Telewest. The
cable installation is fairly straightforward:
A Coaxial cable will be run to your house and "split" so that two
seperate cables are run to:
a) Your STB for the TV
b) Your cable modem
A seperate twisted pair cable is run in to provide a "standard"
telephone connection
The Cable modem has both Ethernet and USB ports - personally I always
recommend people to use Ethernet. IP addresses are supplied by DHCP so
all you need to do is plug it in and off you go!
For WI-FI/Router you need a router whose upstream is Ethernet (to plug
into the cable modem) - many are available from all the usual names.
